Bella Monica really impressed me overall with their 5-Star service and delicious Italian cuisine. As a native New Yorker from Long Island, I know Italian food. I visited late this evening with a friend after making a 7:45 reservation on OpenTable. Karen was our waitress and she provided excellent service. There were several other waitstaff working our table who really contributed to an enjoyable dining experience. We decided on both a Beet Goat Cheese salad and the Pear Salad to start. Focaccia bread was brought to the table along with the salads. Our waitress recommended the Aragosta Verme white wine and it was excellent. We both had the Meat Lasagna which was perfect. Almost as good as mine 🙂 Perfectly garnished with all the Italian herbs and baked beautifully. For dessert, I helped myself to the Toffee Bundt Cake which comes with vanilla ice cream and garnished with mint leaves. I also had a decaf espresso. Everything was perfect. This was a girl dinner gone right for once in the area. Overall beautiful presentation of the cuisine and excellent service. My new favorite restaurant in the Raleigh area.

Our favorite Italian restaurant!! This place needs to reserve in the weekends. Very nice free bread with olive oil and seasoning to start, then a hardy meal! We have been going to this place since 12 years ago, and still go there!! They have kept their menu and quality.

Went here for the first time today for my birthday. Great service and authentic food! I love that they have a separate menu that is strictly gluten free with a lot of options! They even serve gluten free bread as a complementary appetizer. They really made my birthday dinner special! Would definitely go back again. I recommend making a reservation ahead of time to get in faster (which we did). They are popular and busy!

Bella Monica is great!! We absolutely love the mussels, and they taste really great if you get them with squid ink linguine. Everything else we’ve tried has been amazing as well. The crab flat bread was delicious, and also always love snacking on the focaccia. Definitely a top spot for Italian food in the triangle!

Best Italian food with prolific gluten free options! My dining companion even liked the complimentary gluten free bread better than her gluten/regular bread. Salmon was excellent—Too bad I didn’t take a pic before enjoying it! Even had perfectly prepared gluten free tiramisu! Hope to see a gluten free pizza on the menu soon

Quite literally the best gluten free Italian food and service ever!! We came in from out of town, and I’m glad we stopped here to eat. The GM and our waitress were both attentive and great!

Went here a little while back and truly enjoyed the food. Very authentic and flavorful! Ordered the meatball as an appetizer and they were bitesize, juicy and flavorful no complaints. Ordered a vegetable Stromboli which was a nice size and I only ate half. Vegetables was cooked perfectly and the crust on the Stromboli was just right. Lastly ordered the eggplant Parmesan, it melted in my mouth. Eggplant was perfectly sliced not too thick or thin, battered and fried perfectly! Lastly ordered the toffee Bundt, which I believe is seasonally but should be on the menu year round!!!!!!Highly recommend and I love the outdoors seating with the heat lamps so you can enjoy year round. Nice restaurant with great flavorful!

Bella Monica is a great neighborhood restaurant offering their tasty take on Italian cuisine. The varied menu offers something for all tastes, but a must-order is the mussels dish which is simultaneously elegant and decadent. Be sure to order a bit of extra bread for soaking up the sauce! I was intrigued by and enjoyed the complimentary bread – cut into almost perfect squares – with an excellent mouth-feel texture and olive oil for additional flavor. Service was excellent – professional and friendly without being intrusive. The restaurant allows sharing of dishes which is always a useful option to taste more dishes without stuffing oneself. We would definitely return when we next visit the area. By the way, the establishment does not sell liquor, beer and wine solely, but these options appear to be ample.

Today was my first visit to Bella Monica! We got there roughly when it first opened so it wasn’t busy. The food was piping hot when it came to the table and was very delicious! The portion sizes were fair for the pricing and the soup I had I felt was seasoned nicely. I give this restaurant a 4 star because although the food was delicious I felt the waiter could have been more attentive especially during a time where there was only 3 other patrons in the restaurant. Overall it was great and I would definitely recommend and return!
